Question
A metal rod completes a circuit while sliding without friction on a pair of rails in a uniform magnetic field.
B is uniform
sliding rod
The mass of the rod is 382g. The resistor has a value of 4.04 ohm. The magnetic field has a strength of 7.77T and the distance between the rails is 4.61m.
What is the downward force (in Newtons) pulling on the rail when it moves downwards with a constant velocity 2.31 m/s?
(Note that the magnetic field created by the current in the circuit is small compared to the external field and can be neglected.)
